NEW AND IMPORTANT OPINIONS
OF PULMONARY EXPERTS.
Can the Universal Consumption be
Successfully Treated?

DIR. Borgeop, a leading French doctor, has
new treatment fOr consumption.
He gives an enema of carbonic acid and
sulphuretted hydrogen gases, the latter gas
carrying the former into every part of the
throat and lungs.
This treatment, too, is directed at effects
the cause remains undisturbed.
What this cause is has been stated By per-
haps the highest pulmonary authority in
the world, j. e., the Brompton Hospital for
Consumptiyes, in London, Eng.
This malady every year carries off from
one-seventh 10 fifth of the entire popu-
lation of England.
DR.. Payne, NJ. D., NJ. r. c. P, London,
is authority for this statement.
The same or a greater proportion of
deaths obtains in America
DIR. Payne also says that one half of the
total number of deaths from all Other causes
have seeds Of this disease in the system,
which only require some irriiant to de-
velop
Dr. Herman Brehmer, an eminent Ger
man authority, says that consumption is
caused by deficient nutrition of the lungs,
by poor blood.
| These authorities cannot be disputed.
! The msdical world recognizes them. The
| uric acid is the irIitaut in the blood that
| causes the development Of the seeds which
DR.. Drehmer says lie dormant in the
| blood.
| Every particle of blood which passes
| through the lungs and heart, also goes
| through the kidneys and If they are in the
| least GeraDged they cannot rid the blood of
| its killing poison. The thousand little
| hair-like sewer tubes OF the kidneys very
easily set blocked up and diseased; and
VIXEN they 90, they corrupt instead of puri-
! flying the blood Kidney disease may ex-
ist. and yet no pain occur in that organ,
because it is deficient in nerves OF sensa-
| ton.
Dip your finger in acid every day and it
| soon testers and is destroyed. Send acid
| poisoned blood through the lungs every
| second and they soon give away.
| The Brompton Hospital investigation
| showed that % per cent. of the victims of
consumption were afflicted with deranged
kidneys, which permitted the uric acid
poison TO remain in the blood and ir;itate
the lungs. This uric acid is Always fight
ing every vital organ. and if there be any
inherent weakness in the lungs it inevita-
| bly, causes pneumonia, cough and con-
sums pIOI'
| The real cause Of pulmonary troubles be-
| ing so auth5ritatively shown TO be faulty
| even though unSuspected action of the
| kidney, explains why, in order to master
blood OF the uric acid irritant, which in
! flames and burns up the lung substances.
| For this purpose there is nothing equal to
| that great specific. Warmers safe cure. This
remedy has now the favor of medical men
| all over the world purely on its merits.
| We have no doubt that if the kidneys are
kept in natural action, consumption and a
| great many other diseases, caused by uric
acid, will not only be cured but will be pre-
vented.
When the kidney is healthy, no albumen
appears in the water, but albumen is found
in the water of more than half of those
who die of consumption
This, then, is the condition of things
that always precedes consumption First,
| weakened Kidneys; second, retained uric
acid, poisoning the blood third, the devel,
opment Of disease in the LUNGS by the irri-
tant acids passing through ,aem Then
there is a little cough III the mornirg;
sooii thick, yellow matter is spit up, fol-
lowed by loss of flesh and strength with
dreadful night sweats and when the pa
tent goes to his school physician for help,
he is put on cod liver oil which his s,on-
ach, weakened also by uric acid in the
blood, cannot digest. Because there is no
pain present in the kidneys, the patient
does not think they are affected, but TIE
kidney acid is doing its work every minute,
every hour, day ard night, and by-and- by
The disease of The lungs has advanced until
pus is developed, then come hemorrhages,
and at last the CLASSY stare which denotes
that the end is near
A post-mortem examination of such
cases shows that the terrible uric acid has
completely destroyed the substance OF the
lung
1t is impossible to cure lung disease
when the blood is poisoned with uric acid.
